Self-efficacy is defined as one's belief that one can perform the necessary behaviors to achieve one's goals. This belief is one of the most powerful motivational predictors of how well a person will perform at almost any endeavor. Limited information is available, however, about self-efficacy in the organ transplantation population. This study aimed to identify the self-efficacy belief among liver transplant candidates and recipients and compare these results with demographic characteristics. The authors analyzed 100 patients who were candidates and recipients for liver transplantation in a Brazilian center. The average self-efficacy score for the candidates was significantly lower than for the recipients. Future investigation is necessary to explore possible interventions to be taken before and after liver transplantation that could influence self-efficacy of the organ transplantation patients.
自我效能被定义为一个人相信自己能够采取必要行为来实现目标。这种信念是预测一个人在几乎任何努力中表现如何的最有力的动机因素之一。然而，关于器官移植人群的自我效能的信息有限。本研究旨在确定肝移植候选者和接受者的自我效能信念，并将这些结果与人口统计学特征进行比较。作者分析了巴西一家中心的100名肝移植候选者和接受者。候选者的平均自我效能得分显著低于接受者。有必要进行进一步调查，以探索在肝移植前后可能采取的干预措施，这些措施可能会影响器官移植患者的自我效能。
